I ordered the grilled red snapper $32 with French fries, I was disappointed the snapper was very dry and lacked seasoning. We had tostones with garlic sauce, it was ok. Grilled lobster tails were good, so I put my snapper in the sauce that the lobster tails were in. The food here is ok but I will not order the snapper again. The line was long but it moved fast. read more

Me and my wife are regulars at this place because they have great oysters for a very reasonable price. Tonight's experience was horrible! The old chubby guy was working both drinks bar and the oyster/clam bar. He saw me waiting on the line at the oyster bar and made eye contact with me numerous times while I was waiting to order but he never came or spoke me and saaaiiddd anything!! After 30mins kept looking at me and kept serving drinks... My wife thought maybe if we waited on the bar line he could help us, but after my wife waited on the drinks like another 15mins, his response was "You have to wait on the oyster line to get oysters and I cannot give you now!l" Are you fucking serious Tonys Pier? These are the type of people you put on line to make money for you? What a trashy experience! You put a server at the station who would not even speak to your customers! I understand making drinks will bring you more revenue rather than serving a dozen of oysters which takes more time, but at least come and tell me the oyster bar is closed or you can't serve me or TELL ME SOMETHING WHILE YOU'RE SEEING ME WAITING FOR FOR FOOD! Fucking asshole server! There were no-one from the management team to hear our frustrations out! SHAME! read more

Usually dine across the street but switched it up today. I had broiled scallops and fried shrimp, both came with steak fries. He got fried lobster and fries. For drinks, he got the Punch in the Face and I got a margarita with no alcohol. The food was nice and fresh. The steak fries were good, straight out the fryer. I like the seasoning on the fried shrimp and it didnt have a lot of batter on the shrimp. The boiled scallops were good as well. Seasoned well and served in a pan with garlic butter. Would've loved bigger scallops but I guess smaller scallops, larger quantity- so I will take it. The cole slaw wasn't bad either. Fried lobster was great! read more

Looking for quick, tasty seafood with a beautiful scenery? Tony's Pier is it! The only restaurant I know of in City Island is Sammy's so, when my boyfriend offered to take me out to another restaurant in the area, I was excited. We visited Tony's Pier on a Saturday, early evening. Its located at the very end of the strip overlooking the pier. Parking isn't too bad and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. This is a casual dining restaurant (think of mcdonald's), so do not expect anything fancy. The menu is basic and features seafood (mostly fish, shrimp, lobster tails, etc.), chicken, and sides (e.g., fries, onion rings, etc.). They offer both fried and steamed options. Alcohol also available for purchase. Pricing is reasonable given that its all fresh seafood however, its CASH ONLY. Upon entering, we were a little confused as there are multiple lines. One line is for fried, another for steamed, then another for drinks. Overkill. There was someone to direct you at times but its still a lot of lines, almost as if you in a theme park. The wait time thankfully, was not long. We ordered the fried shrimp with a side of french fries and a side of whiting fish. The shrimp and fries were pretty good, needed a little more seasoning but still edible. The tartar sauce also could've used a little pizzaz, but it did the job. The whiting fish however, was bland. It tasted as if they just cleaned it and fried it, no salt or anything for taste, so disappointing. Overall, its a nice place to visit for a casual date or family night out, keep your expectations calm. I would return in the future. read more

Tony's Pier - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

Oh city island. Home of the seafood. There's Sammys on the left end of the road, then there's Tony's on the right. If you know city island you know to not go to sammys and go in to Tony's. The food is better, the baked clams r amazing. I love coming here any time of the year. My boyfriend and I love baked clams so this is our go to. We stopped by last night. Wait time is a little longer when you get the clams but they have a bar where you can get drinks while you wait for your food. You get a rum pińa colada for $7 bucks. During the summer they have outdoor seating that's near the water. But there's seagulls everywhere so unless you want to share your food with them, eat inside! Oh yea it's cash obl read more

Tony's hasn't changed in all the years I have been going. I get my fried shrimp and my banana piña colada sit out on the pier watch the seagulls confiscating french fries from people feeding them. It's a classic summer go to. read more

Tony's is my go to quick seafood spot on city island. I love to get her and get a fire or broiled lobster and I'm always in heaven. It can get really crowded so I always suggest going on a weekday if possible. It is a little pricey. If you go there with 2 people, expect to pay anywhere from 40- 80 depending on what your order. And it's cash only so come ready with your dollars read more

ONE OF THE BEST SEAFOOD PLACES I'VE EVER HAD! I live in Los Angeles, CA and I thought I've had the best fried seafood, but Tonys pier definitely measures up! When we first came in, it was PACKED ASF (always a good sign) but the lines actually went by pretty quick! We ordered fried shrimp, fried lobster, fries, corn and salad. It is nothing fancy at all, the lines are crazy, you sit on benches, it's loud as hell, a little ghetto, but that pretty much sums up all of New York, right? hahahh. The food is bomb, and I'll definitely be back for my little piece of Bronx heaven! read more

We have not been here since the remodeling of the place. We had lunch here and I ordered the fried lobster tails, scallops, and raw clams. The food was on point and tasty. The bartender was a whole other issue. As she waited for the food, I went to the bar to order drinks. Bartender: (on phone and doesn't notice me for a couple minutes or so) Me: Do you have a tasty cocktail with a one -two punch? Bartender: (looking at his phone and not smiling) "nothing"... Me: Well is there any special cocktail you can recommend? Bartender: no, what can I get you?! (clearly annoyed at my business or I interrupted his phone browsing) Me: Forget the cocktail, just give me a $5 Heineken and have a nice day...(no tip) WTF??? read more

Delicious!!!!! By far one my favorite places to eat in City Island. It's down at the very end and perfect for summer meals. I went in October because let's face it there's never a wrong time to have seafood in city island. I enjoyed some Lobsta (insert chuckle here) shrimp, oysters and of course a Henny Colada (Pina Colada with Hennessy for those that don't know). The food was delicious, fresh and worth the $$$ the henny colada well let's just say I'm feigning for one right now and it's Sunday morning. Now please not this is NOT some fancy waterfront seafood restaurant. It is your basic no frills type of place with great food and great service. read more

Ok so I've walked through this restaurant before, I didn't stay because my group thought it was too "ghetto". Today, a friend wanted to grab a quick bite and so I accompanied her. This restaurant is off the water, and has a large parking lot. I tried the fried shrimp and tostones (fried unripe platains). The tostones we're very oily and tasteless despite the garlic oil dip offered along with. The shrimp tasted fresh, but had no real flavor, not even salt. The meal came with a shot of cole slaw and a small salad. Overall, not an impressive experience at all. It's a large place, with indoor and outdoor seating. I've been told the restaurant was renovated following a fire after super storm Sandy. They serve alcohol here as well. I personally think you can far better seafood experiences than this one in the Bronx. Happy Yelping! read more

This aint it chief. It's great that this place exists, but it's definitely not anything to ride home about. We had a group of 15 so it was efficient that it was cafeteria style. But the food quality was off-putting and I think I have had better shrimp at long John silvers (not trying to be offensive, just trying to accurately represent) We got several whole fish as well and they both tasted a little fishier than I would anticipate fresh fish to taste like. Service was relatively fast though, so if you need seafood RIGHT NOW you wont have to wait toooo long read more

I had never been here before and had little to no expectations but was pleasantly surprised by a line waiting to get in... line moved fairly quickly and ordering was straight forward. The restaurant is right on the water and you can choose to seat indoor or outdoor with umbrella covers. It was nice sunny day so we sat outside. My mom got the fried shrimp with fries (all orders come with a side a fries) fried shrimp were DELICIOUS 5 stars for me... however I got the boiled snow crab legs and they were pretty lack luster. Ive been to other seafood boil places as most crab lovers do but this just didn't stand close to them, even tho these are swimming in this garlic sauce still gave nothing, if I'm being nice 3 stars AND I DIDNT GET GLOVES so it was truly a mess. Def going back but I'll stick with the fried selection. read more

Amazing seafood! Not many choices as expected but what I ended up choosing was my favorite. We went early Sunday, as soon as they opened so it was as busy but in an hour or so it became busy. We got lucky to not wait too long for food. The side options are limited. Most dinners all come with French fries so if you want something else you'll need to order it. My broil lobster was so juicy it was totally worth the extra few minute wait. More waiting would be required if it is super busy. Seating is available between inside and outside as well as parking. It is cash only. read more

I got the seafood combo, 4 lobster tails, half dozen oysters, and a pinata colada. In general, fries and fried fish were not good. Very dry and bland. Threw it all out. Highlights for me were the oysters and fried shrimp. Fried lobsters were also very good but not worth the cost. And yes this is a cash only establishment! Long lines that move quickly. Much more shade provided in the outdoor seating than Johnny's nextdoor. read more

Tony's Pier - Broiled lobster tails with fried shrimp and French fries. - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

Sorry to have to say this but I just had some of the worst sea food I have ever had at Tony's. My wife had the scallops which had to had been frozen, they looked like tiny Tatar tots. To bad they didn't taste as good . I had shrimp which were considerably better but still probably frozen and sub par for anything I have ever had on City Island. We would have been better off going to McDonald's and getting a fish filet sandwich. I understand restaurant's are hurting during the pandemic but for $40 dollars patrons who come out to support them deserve better. read more

So I came here for a family/friend get together with my ancé we usually go to different restaurants on sea island but this night we were eating at Toni's this is the first time I've eaten here and COVID-19 has definitely changed the experience of everything good luck finding parking because parking is very scarce but whenever 15 parking spots would open up they would allow you to park inside most people just parked on the street and took the chance of getting a ticket so they can get some food and have a good time. When you arrive you wait online with your group or partner and security lets you inside the restaurant in groups of 15 or 10 you go inside and you order your food you get a ticket with a number on it and then you go to the bar and order your drinks you pay for your drinks at the bar cash only and then you can pick up your food once you've picked up your food you head back outside and you go to the back of the restaurant to the outdoor dining area. I got the whiting with french fries which came with a small coleslaw and to drink I got an incredible hulk. The fries were really good and so was the fish surprisingly I never really thought Food would be that good I just thought it would be good because most likely you're drunk when you're eating it however I was drunk and I didn't eat it and I did like it but it was fun sitting there with friends and family we had laughs and talked and enjoyed being outside together feeling normal I really had a good time here and I will definitely come back read more

This a good spot you can stop by and pick up seafood and take your time eating it. Pińa coladas are so delicious here and cheap, compared to nyc prices. Trust me, you'll get the kick from all the rum they put in each cup. At $7 price, you can't beat the little booze you'll get. The food is good too, if you like fried food. They only take cash $$$$so come prepare read more

This place was one if the few places on a hot Saturday night around 10 Pm we could take out from. We decided to take the chance as we were hungry after a long drive back into NYC. Security organized the lines outside and people were called in about 5-6 at a time to order takeout. The outdoor space in the back was closed around 10:30-11:00 PM so you had to order and go. Once inside there was another line to wait and order. The wait to order wasn't bad at all. We ordered the crab legs fried shrimp combo (*2) and the fried combo with extra shrimp. And garlic bread. While you wait for your number to be called there's another line to order drinks. On that line you will be carded. There's an assortment of drinks to choose from and juices. That line went pretty quick too. After our order was up we decided to eat at the car. The food was hot. Everything was fresh. The fried shrimp were the best part of the meal. The crab legs had a butter, garlic seasoning on top. Somehow it tasted sweet which isn't what I'm used to. The crab cluster itself was good. The garlic bread didn't have much flavor. Definitely a disappointment. My friends liked their meals. Not sure that I would try them again. For the price I think you can do better. read more

This place has changed. This isn't the spot I have known for many years. I went their today Oct 29 2020. Shrimps were Small as hell. Almost and orange Color. Taste like it was seasoned with Sazón and food coloring. Even as I peeling the breading off, they shrimp was stained in orange Color. Baked clams had same red seasoning as the shrimps, breading on baked clams were orange res color as well. I come from Brooklyn NY and have to pay about $18 toll plus gas, their are way to many spots in Brooklyn and Queens now adays to be entertaining tiny shrimps colored orange and watered down Tarter Sauce. I'm done going to Tony's the food has been crappy their lately, especially if you know it's not the same recipe from the good old days. I wonder if this place has been sold to another Family ? I would not recommend going out of your way to visit this place, you should be able to find better seafood locally for much better prices and better taste, like I have. So sad to say goodbye. read more

Terrible experience all around. It was first and LAST time coming. I usually go to Johnnys across the street but wanted to try something different. However, the line to order was very disorganized. My broiled lobster came out burnt and the baked clams were runny. I don't think baked clams are supposed to be runny. To top it off, the bartender was rude. Yes, this place was expensive just like any other seafood place. I really regret not going to Seafood City which has much better reviews. No wonder the crowd across the street at Johnny's is always much larger. read more

This is the main restaurant I come to when I go to City Island. The seafood fried and steamed is amazing. The drinks are good also. And to top it off they have ice cream for dessert. The serving sizes are really good especially for the price. There's seating inside and outside. Thankfully they placed some sort of strings outside to prevent seagulls from attacking you because that was a big issue back in the day. The bathrooms are clean and there's plenty of parking. Also, it's accessible by public transportation. This place is a must above the others when you go to City Island. read more

Tony's Pier - Fried shrimp dinner - Seafood Near Me - Bronx, New York

Never been to City Island before a group of friends of mine decided to try a seafood restaurant on our way back after a hike. Tony's is located at the tip of City Island by the water. There was plenty of parking in the lot on site. Walking in they had two sections for fried food and broiled food. Figuring out where the line started and where to stand to wait for you order to be ready was a bit chaotic. My sister and I got the fried seafood combo to try the variety and the yucca fries. We didn't realize that the seafood combo already came with fries. In addition, each meal is served with a small cup of salad with a thousand island salad dressing. The seafood combo had calamari, shrimp, clam strips, scallops, fish filet and whiting filet. The amount of food is plentiful and can easily serve 2-3 people. My favorite of the bunch was the scallops. They were a nice plump size and had a juicy sweet flavor. The yucca and French fries were thick cut and fried to perfection. Seating is offered inside and outside of the establishment. One of the other patrons had told us that the crab legs were the "bomb" and she travels very far just to get them. I guess next time I'll just have to see if that is true. If you can't finish your plate, they have to go trays you can grab to wrap up your plate. read more

I have been going here since I was a teen and Tony's never disappoints. Even with the bustle of crowds and it's usually very busy but the staff operates like a well oiled machine. Good size portions and always fresh seafood on the menu. The pina coladas are perfect but if your a light weight (with liquor) proceed with caution because you will leave Tony's hammered.
